Hi! I’m Bella :) I’ve lived abroad for a few years, and one of my favorite parts of that experience was meeting people from all over the world. I love good food, cafés, taking photos, exploring new places, and just having a good conversation. I’m pretty easygoing, so you don’t have to worry about anything being too formal — think of me as a local friend to hang out with while you’re in Korea. Hopefully, we’ll share some good food, lots of laughs, and make some fun memories along the way :)

Not Your Typical Korea Trip

Who decides what we do?+

You and your Crew member decide together. It can change with the weather and how you feel that day, so deciding when you meet is part of the fun. If there is somewhere you want to go, just mention it beforehand.

How much does a day with a Crew member cost?+

Prices start at $25 an hour, with a 4-hour minimum. Most meetups cost around $120-160. We will confirm the exact amount once the date and time are set.

Can we meet for less than 4 hours?+

The minimum is 4 hours. Crew members also need time to travel to meet you, and anything shorter often ends just as you are getting comfortable.

Is this a dating service?+

No. It is more like spending a day with a friend, walking around, eating, and talking together.

How do I meet Korean friends in Seoul?+

Chat with the Crew member you choose, then set the date and time. That is it.

How can I spend a day in Seoul like a local?+

You could walk through Bukchon alleys, visit cafés in Seongsu, or stay out late in Hongdae. Your Crew member spends the day with you.

Where do Seoul locals actually eat?+

Try a gopchang alley, a late-night pojangmacha, or a hotteok stand. There is more to Seoul than the tourist spots in Myeongdong.

What are some hidden gems in Seoul?+

Try a hanok café in Ikseondong, a small bar in an Euljiro alley, Seochon, or the Han River area around Mangwondong.

Is Seoul safe for solo travel?+

Seoul is considered one of Asia's safer cities. Spending your first day with a local Crew member can help you settle in.
